Forms

A Form collects information from users during a Master Template run by means of a questions/answers form. It contains elements such as questions, instruction, and help texts. When a Form is included in the Master Template script, KCM ComposerUI prompts the user to answer the questions, and shows instructions and help texts.

Forms are created and maintained in the Form Editor.

Forms are stored in the Forms folder. This folder is automatically created when you create a new project.

Forms are included with the instruction FORM NAME or FORM VAR. For more information on this instruction, see the Kofax Communications Manager Template Scripting Language Developer's Guide.

The answers to questions are stored in Fields of Field Sets in the Data Backbone. In Legacy projects, it is possible to configure a Forms folder with a restriction on the Field Sets that can be used in Forms inside it.

A Text Block question allows a user to select one of more Text Blocks from the Text Block List to insert in the result document. In Legacy projects, it is possible to configure a Forms folder with a restriction on the Text Block Lists that can be used in Forms inside it.

It is possible to save an erroneous Form. The error message of the Form Editor is stored with the revision and shown in the description pane. The revision of an erroneous Form is tagged as failed. Such an erroneous Form revision cannot be unlocked.
